the takeaway is that the entire media was so delighted at a lie by a serial fabulist who fucked her way through all of her sources and editors to get where she was that they ignored anything even vaguely revealing a public responsibility
i'm just hung up on "the entire media let itself get dogwalked into stabbing Democracy to death by a lady who was just doing it because she was hung up on RFK Jr.'s piss and breeding kinks", it's genuinely unbelievable to me
if she were an actual agent of an enemy polity i think i'd hate it less

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.
All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

I think it’s dangerous to underestimate your enemies but Yarvin is a genuinely stupid person
On Twitter the other day, Curtis Yarvin declared a speech by George Washington to be “fake communist history” because he asked Claude about it and the AI glazed him

unfortunately the main difference is that most regretful Trump voters don’t have a spare million dollars to give to Kirsten Gillibrand

you just can't have a meaningful conversation about the potential benefits of "AI" while this stuff is happening. it's like trying to talk about how useful an airplane might be during a hijacking

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.

Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

A common defense of Biden’s behavior from Democratic partisans is that Medicaid continuous coverage originated as a temporary provision, so it should be temporary.
That’s precisely the same argument Republicans are making now in opposing the extension of the enhanced ACA subsidies:

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

When they say “AI dominates our world” what they mean is that their world is assembled of equity values.
My clients are almost exclusively AI companies and I don't interact with AI enough to say it "dominates our world"
Only Republicans have a plan for A.I., David Byler writes. “Democrats, at best, have concepts of a plan. And if they want to stay relevant in 2028, they need to plan carefully now,” he says.
